Galatians 2:21

in my weakness, he is strong

I'm currently doing a Bible study called The Patriarchs by Beth Moore. This quote really stuck with me as I read and I made this following my reading for this last week. I hope it blesses and inspires you.

After The Storm

Love the lyrics of this song so much.

Go listen, please.

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.

I won't die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and man so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

Scripture Memory Monday | Psalm 51:15

 

It has been so long since I posted a scripture memory verse. 

This week I am going to be concentrating on controlling what comes out of my mouth. More praise, less condemnation. More kindness, less hostility. More of Him, less of me.

Scripture Memory Monday | James 1:2-3

I am convicted by this verse.  Whenever I face a difficult situation, I am not at all joyful.  In fact, I'm the exact opposite.  I whine, complain, worry.  There's nothing fun about it.  But scripture tells us to consider trials PURE JOY!  Why?  Because it tests our faith so that we will maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty.
 
James 1 is chock full of good stuff.  Go read it.

Scripture Memory Monday | Psalm 27:14

Scripture Memory Monday | Romans 12:12

Sorry I was MIA last week. With summer starting we had a lot of things going on. But, I'm back! And I have a lot of projects on the table for the next few weeks. Looks to be a busy summer ahead. I hope everyone is doing well and memorizing your verses every week. How's everyone's memorization going?

Scripture Memory Monday | Hebrews 10:22

 

I really love this verse. 

Such a great reminder that I don't need to have all the answers. I just need to have more faith.

My prayer is that my heart is pure, and that I am seeking Him in all that I do.

 

Scripture Memory Monday | Luke 6:45

Questions I need to ask myself:
What do the words that I speak say about the condition of my heart?
What tone of voice am I using when I speak?
Am I speaking the truth in love?
Am I using words that are honoring and loving and gentle?
Or are the words I use hateful, angry and unkind?

I'm really concentrating on every word that comes out of my mouth. Before I respond to a question or a problem I'm challenging myself to think about what I say and how it may be interpreted. If you're up for a challenge, please join me. :)

Scripture Memory Monday | Psalm 61:2

Memorizing scripture is one thing that I have always been horrible at. I don't have the best memory. If I meet someone, I will forget their name 10 minutes later. Having a bad memory isn't a quality that I love about myself. So, I'd like to challenge myself to memorize scripture more, so that I can hide it in my heart and know God's word. I love the Psalms, so I will start there. Each week I am going to post a new scripture that I want to memorize. I'd love for you to join me!
